Amaysim (branded amaysim), is one of the biggest MVNOs in Australia, offering simple SIM-only mobile phone plans, prepaid mobile phone plans, and mobile broadband plans under the Optus Network. Learn more about amaysim and their mobile phone plans and services, by reading more below.
Amaysim coverage and overview
Starting October 2021 amaysim will no longer be offering energy services or amaysim NBN. If you’re an amaysim NBN customer, your service will be transferred to Southern Phone. If you have amaysim electricity or gas, your service will be transferred to AGL. Currently, existing amaysim NBN or energy customers don’t need to make any immediate changes to their services if they don’t want to.
Since 2010, amaysim has been one of the biggest telecommunications providers in Australia, offering low-cost mobile phone and broadband services across the country under the Optus network. In 2017, amaysim began to sell electricity and gas services through the purchase of Click Energy and then subsequently selling their own Amaysim energy plans. In 2021, amaysim removed energy and home broadband plans from their website, instead choosing to focus only on mobile phone and mobile broadband plans.
Amaysim is an MVNO on the Optus network, covering 98% of the Australian population with the 3G, 4G, and now 5G mobile network.
